1 Setting the stage: Key accomplishments Asthma focused follow-up visit The WAC asthma focused follow-up visit tool was created to assist primary care providers in providing ongoing management of asthma patients based on the NIH asthma guidelines. The tool was initially created in 2007 as a simple algorithm to be used during a primary care asthma visit. Partnering with WAC The WAC has provided me with the tools needed to utilize a thorough asthma focused followup visit template within my organization s electronic health record. This helps ensure consistent care for patients as the most important information for all providers is right there at their fingertips. Today, the asthma focused follow-up visit tool - Michele Meszaros, RN, MS, CPNP, AE-C, provides questions and information that serve as a Fox valley Asthma Coalition, ThedaCare Pediatrics Neenah guide during an asthma follow-up visit. Several WAC members have used the tool to either build new or enhance existing electronic health record systems. The WAC continues to encourage providers to add components not already included in their electronic health record. The WAC recommends that health care providers use an asthma action plan with asthma patients. Epic, a large electronic health record company located in Wisconsin, will be incorporating an asthma action plan as part of their software upgrade which is expected to be released in The WAC was able to partner with Epic and provide feedback during the creation process. ROUTINE HEALT H CARE Education for primary care providers From , the Allergist Outreach Asthma Education Program trained more than 1,400 primary care providers and other clinical staff to improve the diagnosis and management of asthma. Significant improvements were documented in severity classification, assessment of dust as a trigger, writing asthma action plans, primary care providers teaching patients, staff teamwork and nurses review of inhaler technique. The program was sponsored by the American Lung Association in Wisconsin, Children s Health Alliance of Wisconsin, Children s Hospital of Wisconsin, Fight Asthma Milwaukee Allies, Medical College of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Academy of Pediatrics Foundation, Wisconsin Allergy Society and WAC. The WAC members and partners have identified a need to again train primary care providers on the NIH asthma guidelines. Children s Health Alliance of Wisconsin is 20
2 managing a new educational program, Improving Outcomes: Practical Asthma Management (PAM), which will begin implementation as part of this new plan. Emergency department follow up The WAC completed a needs assessment with 14 emergency departments to identify how asthma was managed. The WAC found varying protocols, services and goals regarding asthma. While all hospitals provide some sort of basic asthma education during an emergency department visit, only 3 of the 14 (21 percent) provide an asthma action plan to their patients. The educational materials and information varies between hospital systems and physicians. Time is the most significant barrier for patients in the emergency department to receive comprehensive education to manage their asthma. The majority of emergency department physicians feel comfortable prescribing a rescue medication, but few are willing to prescribe controller medications. All 14 emergency departments refer patients to follow-up care, but the majority of the time the patient is responsible for following up with their primary care provider. Some of the emergency departments alert the patient s primary care provider that their patient was seen. However, the process used differs greatly and results in varied outcomes. based on this information, the WAC felt it was important to implement an assortment of data sharing and system change strategies to increase the number of patients who complete a follow-up visit with a primary care provider after an urgent care visit, emergency department visit or hospitalization. Workplan Goal: Increase implementation of current NIH asthma guidelines for optimal diagnosis and management of asthma by health care providers. Objective A: Implement the WAC asthma focused follow-up visit components to support practice guidelines for health care providers. 1. Severity and control a. Promote the use of clinical flow charts to assess severity b. Promote the use of validated tools to assess control (e.g., Asthma Control Test (ACT)/Child-ACT, Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids (TRACK), asthma therapy assessment questionnaire (ATAQ)) c. Promote inclusion of severity and control assessment within the electronic health record as discrete data elements 2015-ongoing 21
3 2. Asthma action plans a. Promote the use of clear, understandable action plans with all asthma patients b. Promote components for inclusion in asthma action plans c. Identify and/or develop appropriate health literacy terminology and pictures d. Promote embedding action plans within the electronic health record for use at each visit Environmental assessment a. Promote basic environmental assessments as part of the clinic visit b. Promote environmental assessment tool for use by clinic staff (e.g., National Environmental Education Foundation, Physicians for Social Responsibility) c. Promote patient education to minimize triggers d. Refer patients to community resources (e.g., home nursing, community health workers) Spirometry a. Promote the use of spirometry b. Promote and/or provide training on performing spirometry and interpretation of data c. Promote spirometry guidelines (e.g., American Thoracic Society) Patient and/or family education a. Promote educational resources for clinics to use with patients (e.g., Living With Asthma: Families Speak video) b. Create and/or promote patient education materials ROUTINE HEALT H CARE Evidence rating: Scientifically supported basis for evidence rating: 3 systematic reviews (a, b, c); 3 experimental studies (d, e, f) a.

4 Objective B: Increase the number of patients who complete a follow-up visit with a primary care provider after an urgent care visit, emergency department visit or hospitalization. 1. Promote written discharge plan that includes a. Medication use b. Follow up with a primary care provider within 1 to 4 weeks 2. Identify and share successful urgent care, emergency department and hospital protocols, and promote best practices to other systems 3. Provide training to urgent care, emergency services and hospital staff on appropriate use of the NIH asthma guidelines Promote data sharing between the urgent care, emergency department, hospital and primary care provider to follow up with patients 5. Promote timely data sharing between the urgent care, emergency department, hospital and health plan case managers, care coordinators and other health care partners 6.
